Partition the internet… Like during the Morris worm of '88, where they had to pull off regional networks to prevent the machines from being reinfected?

The good old days were, maybe, not that good. :)

KOTOR is such an amazing game… I’ve replayed it recently hoping it would ruin my childhood recollection of it being god tier. It didn’t, it’s still an amazing game after all these years

Such a monstrous clusterfuck, and you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone having been sacked, let alone facing actual charges over the whole debacle.

If anything, I’d say that’s the single best case for buying IBM - if you’re incompetent and/or corrupt, just go with them and even if shit hits the fan, you’ll be OK.

For all we know, it’s a 50/50 that the customer service guy receives back an email back from that email that supposedly is not accessible saying “WTF I have no idea what you’re talking about, was my account hacked?”

But since you’re that gullible - hey bro, that wallet in your back pocket is mine, I put it there when I washed my jeans. Hand it back now, I paid for it and I’m 100% entitled to it!!

Are they all your phones, or different house members? Can you “pool” your photos together?

We’ve been doing this with all our phones for a long time using nextcloud. I’d like to use a more photo-oriented app, but the last I tried it, it just wasn’t there yet.

Can’t rotate or do basic edits in web app, dead to me.

Also can’t really sync and share with rest of household. Auto sync to phones is also a must.

I was seriously unimpressed with its features, and I’m not bothering with it again anytime soon.

I’m in Europe, and my debit card says visa. That’s the part that confuses me…

To this day, I don’t understand why Visa or MasterCard (or even a “physical” or even virtual card) are necessary. If the banks can’t create a global, shared way of processing payments, then the governments should step in and do it for them.

Wrong answer.

You don’t start a debate on the technicalities of an absurdity, because the other side isn’t interested in a good faith discussion.

You shut it down completely, you call them what they are: stupid, gullible morons who need to keep their mouth shut since they can’t cobble together a coherent thought, or even outright traitors that need to be hanged.

Anything less is giving ground for free.

I never understood the fixation on IPs. For a kick ass universe with amazing lore etc, ok sure.

I mean I love Jeb and the gang as much as the next guy, but they’re not core to my enjoyment of KSP1. The mechanics were.

Not German, but close enough - there’s usually at least one bus within walkable distance, even if it’s only like 4 times a day or something, that connects to a larger hub.

I lived in a place where I had to be by the bus stop at 7h30. If I missed that I’d have to wait for the next at 8h15, and if I missed that one, I’d better call to say I wasn’t able to go that day.

However, in smaller towns and in the countryside, with no cars, life is so different to the frenetic chaos of big cities that it’s hard to put into words.

Solving problems the Excel way.

The articles first line starts with:

Body mass index (BMI) is an anthropometric index that is commonly used in the medical setting and is a factor in assessing various disease risks

If it’s good enough for doctors, it’s good enough for me. Wake me up when something else takes its place.

What? BMI > 30 is the literal definition of obesity.

It’s a tool, and it serves a purpose.

Huh, that’s interesting. Of all things to choose metric, why sockets?

I think the only thing where imperial is common here in (continental) Europe is screen sizes, which you always see in inches, and it’s weird because people have absolutely no feel for how long 55" or whatever is. The other is pipes, though in plumbing is usual to have the equivalent in mm.

Congrats on the healthy BMI, and on using the correct scale!

By my book, you’re now an EU citizen.

Someone posted an article here today that China is suggesting that anything AI generated must be watermarked, visually and digitally, somehow.

I don’t know how technically feasible that would be, but sounds like something that needs to happen.

While speculation, I don’t doubt it one bit.

It’s unlikely you’d be able to fly these without US maintenance and supplies in the first place, but even if you could, I’d trust them as much as pagers from Israel.

A French speaking person in Canada? Chance in a million surely.

How about them south Korean subs?
